An Effigy Sings

in 3 parts,

An Effigy Sings 

the broken planet

spat out a new dawn,

radiant,

waiting

----------------------

those b*****d bamboo husks

taunt me

tease me

laugh at me

feed me with their brittle

laughter and hollow dreams

------------------------

the glistening white

of virgin mind,           already

the sullied footsteps

of man

Your satire is some of the best at the cafe. You always pick fresh, original, stinging imagery to convey your ironic outlook. I'm in a bit of a slump myself, as far as having high hopes for Mother Earth (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hey, Margie, hope you are keeping well, Mother Earth will bounce back, despite our best efforts to f**k her up, glad you enjoyed, keep on rocking, and rolling, lol,

but the prints are there...and they will be found...the virgin minds are violated...
the planet is more than broken, fractured...we can't take it back.
powerful stuff here, gram,
